On Monday morning between seven and eight o'clock Mrs. I. L. Cosby, Hy ing on Hancock street, between Pollock and Broad, was robbed of a vuluable lot of jewelry. Mr. Cosby, who is the engineer of the steamer Kinston was out makiDg arrangements to go to Kin ston on the up train. Mrs. Cosby was in the dinning room preparing break fast. The box containing the. jewelry had been left on' a bureau in the bed room near the window, and contained two gold watches one large and one small one two gold rings, a breast pin and ear rings. The bed room is on the lower floor, the window sauli w raised, and the box could be easily reached from the outside. A little n gro girl was the only person seen in the yard that morning and she denies any knowledge of the whereabouts of the stolen jewelry. Mrs. Cosby left the room about 7 o'clock and returned for her watch a few minutes after 8 and discovered the theft. No trace of the stolen goods had been found up to last night. Improved Fire Engines. Editor Journal: The following ac count of a test of rival manufacturers of steam fire engines may interest you and the firo department of New Berne, justly styled "the best fire department of the South. " The account of the test is from the Washington (D. C.,) Star of Aug. 9th. W. A. H. A test was made yesterday in the presence of Chief Cronin, of the fire de partment; Assessor Dodge, uapt. rloxie, Mr. Denny, agent of the Silsby fire en gine, and Mr. Clapp, of the Clapp & Jones manufacturing company, all un der equal conditions. The first test was made through a thousand feet of hose and a H inch nozzle. Steam was raised from cold water. The Clapp & Jones consumed eight minutes and thirty seconds in raising 100 pounds of steam, and the Silsby twelve minutes and thirty seconds, and both engines were started with hfty pounds of steam, and while the Clapp & Jones engine worked satis factorily, and kept increasing her steam, the Silsby engine dropped to thirty pounds. The Clapp & Jones steamer kept running with ease with 120 pounds of steam and showing 200 pounds of water pressure. The Silsby engine in this test dropped in three minutes from 100 pounds of steam and 190 pounds of water pressure to do pounds of steam and 120 pounds of water pressure. The journals of the engine became heated and the engine had to be stopped to have them cooled off with water. The second test was through 100 feet of hose with open butt. The Clapp & Jones ran smoothly with an average of 115 pounds of steam and 200 pounds of water pressure, while the Silsby en gine varied considerably in both steam and water pressure. The last test was through ouu reet of hose with li inch nozzle, the Clapp & Jones showing 125 pounds of steam und 210 pounds of water pressure. The maximum steam of the Silsby was 55 pounds with 98 pounds of water pres sure. The Clapp & Jones engine worked from 10:38 a. m. to 12:45 p. m. with slight intermission for change of hose, no trouble being experienced and good results obtained throughout. The weight of the steamer ready for service, including fuel and three men, was 5,090 pounds, and the amount of fuel consumed during the trial was 299 pounds. The KUsby worked irom w.av a. nwto 12:33 p. ni., consuming CGO pounds of coal; the weight of steamer ready for service being o,820 pounds. Notes from the Center. Hioh Point, N, C, Aug. 14, 1884. Editor Journal: I give you below a few nandom notes relative to High Point, its agricultural and commercial advantages, and as a resort not oniy lor healthy people but for invalids. The town, with about two thousand inhabitants, is beautifully located in the southwest corner of Guilford coun ty, on the line of the Richmond and Danville Railroad, 214 miles from New Berne, 15 miles west of Greensboro and about 18 miles south of Salem; it is oie thousand feet above the sea level,' with a climate dry and salubrious, just the happy mean between the extreme west, to escape the rigors or the winters, and that of the east to escape moist atmos phere, no dewfalls at night, there is always more or less breeze, and the temperature during the day is seldom over 90, with a difference at night of about 25 degrees lower. At the present time there are several families from New Berne stopping heie, and they are all delighted with the place, having been greatly benefitted during their stay.. The principal products , of the soil in the surrounding country are corn, wheat, oats, barley .ana fruit. Within a radius of twenty miles there are a number of smaller towns with cotton factories, employing all the way fromlUUto euu bands; the largest or these is Randelman, formally known as Union f actory, situated about the same distance from High Point as Trinity College, trough in a different direction. Bush Hill is another thriving little place where they have a steam tannery, spoke factory and manufacture of other wagon material. Tobacco is the princi pal product of the factories at Thomas- vine, a email town west or this point. Altogether this is a beautiful country and will no doubt, in the near future, rival some of the older towns on the line of the same road. Tho merchants here adopt the cash system, and from what I saw they are doing a fair busi ness for the season. There are a num ber of brick houses and Btores, the latter on Fayetteville street having replaced the wooden structures destroyed by fire some time ago. The numerous private dwellings, many of which are frame, are very neat, nicely painted and en closed with picket fences, with suffi cient distance between the house and line of street for the culture of plants and flowers to which considerable at tention is paid. A little-attention given to architec tural adornment and a judicious appli cation of paint, both for ornamentation and preservation, adds very much to the appearance of a place and makes a good impression on visitors. The annual meeting of the Society of r riends has just closed, having been in session for more than a week. Last Sunday, the 10th inst., there was a very urge gathering of Quakers from the surrounding country and many from abroad. Services were held three times aday, and delegates from that body conducted worship in the Methodist and Presbyterian churches. Mr. Mitchell was one of the delegates who officiated in the latter church; he is a brother of the celebrated Geographer Mitchell and at present a city missionary in Wash ington, D. C. The Fayetteville and Winston Rail road Company have nearly completed the road bed and will soon be ready to lay the iron. This line of road will take in nearly all the manufacturing towns in this section Winston, Randle man, Namo, Central and Cedar Falls, Bush Hill and numerous other places crossing the R. & D. Road a short dis tance from High Point, its route opens up one of the richest timber sections in any part ot tne btate, and wnen nnisned will afford ample facilities for shipping thefproducts of the factories (which are now hauled in wagons to the nearest depot) and the fruits a market. The completion of this road will prove of in terest to the people and places on the line ot the A. cc jn.u. Kailroad, and ought to interest them in its success. . High Point has three hotels, the prin cipal one is the Bellevue, located im mediately opposite the railroad depot, which makes it very convenient for travelers about handling baggage. There is good gunning here from October to April, and during that period large numbers of sportsmen from the Northern States make this their home during that season. I expect to visit Salem and Winston in a lew days and other places of in terest. Z. Gum Branch Items. Mr. Fred. Harget lost a fine mule Thursday from colic. (juite a number ot visitors to see us Friday on the road Messrs. Hargett & Son, Sheriff Murrill, John Franks; Job Kinsey and Furney Simmons of New Berne; Capt. Robt. W. Joyner of Pitt county ,Capt. of Co. E, 27th N. C. Regi ment, and several others; and Saturday being the loth, will open thebau with a grand hunt. Will let you hear from it We are getting on finely with the road ; got one ditch cut through to the other side, and if the weather keeps good for a week or two will have the road so you can travel through the po cosin with horse and buggy in a straight line from Ned MurnU's in Onslow county to Furney Simmons' in Jones county, a distance of about fifteen miles through and forty-five miles round to same place. Mr. John Brock moved some old corn in his crib last week and killed 290 large rats. Hearing some chickens cry mg in the night he went to see and found one half-grewn in the clutches of a large rat. Mr. B. attempted to kill the rat, but failing in the lick took hold of the chicken and tried to pull him away, but rat hung on and got away with the chicken. Then Mr. 1. set steel-traps; one got in and squealed, and when B. went to take him out about a dozen went for B. and made him tote. B. Bays he never had to run from a rat before: now he is looking around for some new way to kill rats. Times are improving because it has quit raining; having some beautiful weather now and our croppers seem to be in good heart again. Cotionhas been in jured considerably by the wet weather corn not so much. Pulling fodder is the order of the day now, and before long deer hunting will take the place of fodder getting; even now you may hear one say, I wish it was the 15th of Au gust so I could go bunting. 1 hear of about seventy-five men ready and wait ing to start on that day. Expect a large crowd on the Quaker bridge road on that day. Well, let them come: we have a good road for them to ride and hunt on, and there are plenty of deer out here, getting so sassy one can hardly go out by himself without being at tacked by a buck. ' Only last Monday a large buck came on the road and at tacked one of Mclver's trusted convicts who was cutting near by, and notwith standing Tom had an axe in his hand Mr. deer made .for him, and Tom not wishing to be hurt nor break the axe made tracks as fast as possible, not for getting to throw down his axe before starting, and had it not been for Mr, bunch and the dog who came to the rescue of Tom, Mack would have had one Jess, prisoner with him to-day, for when they got there the deer was strad die of Tom's back trying to stick his horns 'in him, and would have done so but Bunch gave him a leaden pill and so saved Tom s life, so we eat some more venison. '. - -. Wherever the people are smokers there the fame of the Durham tobacco is known. It is sui generis ot its own kind. Its peculiar fragrance and flavor are "known as well in Canada, South America, Cuba. Japan, 'Germany France, China and Australia as in the United States, and all who revel in the luxury of a pipe or cigarette rely on Blackwell's Durham" Long Cut. It is peerless in purity and fragranoe. ' Jones' County Items . Mr. Joseph A. Smith and family, is eff on a trip to Asheville enjoying the mountain scenery. . Not much sickness at this time in our vicinity. I don't know of a single case in our whole neighborhood. Mr. E. R. Page has resigned the Mayer's office. Mr. George Hill has been selected to fill the vacancy. The bridge across Chinquapin creek has been washed up during the last freshet and the commissioners not long since bad put some work on it. The Methodist Quarterly Meeting was held at Oak Grove, near Polloksville, on Saturday and Sunday last, and as there appeared to be considerable in terest manifested in the good work by the congregation, the meeting will be protracted for several days. The Rev., Mr. Caahwell, of the Mis sionary Baptist Church, assisted, by the Kev. Mr. Baker, have been holding a series of revival meetings during the past week at Piney Grove. Several have professed religion, twelve of whom were baptized on Saturday last. The colored people, I understand, are having quite a revival at their church, on the New Berne Koad, near Mr. J. 15. Banks'. A 1 large crowd passed along on Sunday last, most of whom were driving good teams and were riding in hne top-buggies, 1 was not aware that there could be paraded in our vicinity such a turnout or vehicles. The farmers have commenced pulling fodder and the average darkey is happy heard a couple to-day exulting over the good time for them now and what a terrible hard time they had passed through for the last few weeks. One of them remarked that he had been so scarce of money that he could not afford himself backer to chaw, but says he You better believe that I will have a plug to-night afore I sleep. The citizens who reside on the North side of the Trent, in Trenton township, have gone to work in earnest and pro cured a site for a meeting house where the Kinston road crosses tho Core creek and Trenton Road and are preparing timbers to build a good frame bouse, which will when finished, be quite a convenient point for the citizens to at tend church not only for the Trenton section, but tho Core creek people will when the new road is completed be in four or five miles of this church. Will the voters of the Democratic party of Jones county bear in mind that the township meeting will be held on Saturday next the 23d of August, to. se lect delegates to attend the county con vention to nominate candidates to rep resent us in the next legislature; and alo county officers. I hope that every Democrat will attend these meetings and vote for just such men for delegates as will carry out lus wishos in the con vention. The Cleveland and Scales club mot on Saturday and fully completed their organization by appointing an execu tive committee of five and also appoint Ing a committee of five to solicit the names of all who wish to join the club Fifty voters enrolled their names on the club book on Saturday evening last only one or two who were present re fused to join and they will support the ticket. We expect to double this num ber next Saturday. Mr. R. S, May was elected treasurer and Mr. it. 11. Whit aker was selected to address the club on Saturday next. At the suggestion of Mr. P. M.
